Grain Free Granola Round #2

I've been on a bit of a breakfast kick lately. Breakfast is, after all, the most important meal of the day. And let's face it, breakfast foods are just plain old fun. Pancakes, waffles - don't even get me started on french toast.

Simple Coconut Flour Pancakes

If there is one meal that I can always count on to be fuss free - it's breakfast. Mike and I are bacon and eggs kind of people, and I love it that way. It just makes mornings so much easier. Everyone knows that bacon is basically natures candy, and eggs are the easiest things in the world to season right. I'll chop up and throw in whatever left over veggies are found in the fridge, and I'm full for hours - no mid morning snack required.

Some mornings, however, I just need something a little different.

Low Fodmap Chicken Paella

Story time! It's a bit of a long story with lots of little details that matter, but I'll try to keep it short because

Juicy Turkey Burgers - Low Fodmap, Paleo, & AIP adaptable

You'd have thought that after keeping vigilant for over a year about gluten, gluten containing products, and even gluten cross contamination that I would think twice about haphazardly throwing anything in my shopping basket without flipping it over and reading the ingredient label. Everything has gluten in it...seriously everything.

But no. Even after all this time, I still slip up with checking my labels.

Healthy Socca Pizza

If you haven't tried making my Simple Socca recipe from the other week, you may want to now. This next recipe uses the melt-in-your-mouth, chickpea flatbread as  delicious, gluten-free pizza base.

Socca is at the same time filling and light. Unlike more traditional pizza crusts that leave you almost a bit too full, using this as a base satisfies while sparing you the feeling of being stuffed like a turkey at Thanksgiving. It also works as a perfect vehicle for getting your favorite pizza toppings from point A (the plate) to point B (your face).

So, gather up your favorite pizza toppings, heat up the broiler, and prepare for delicious, mouthwatering pizza.

Ingredients

• Simple Socca flatbread
• 2-3 tablespoons marinara or pesto sauce
• 1/2 courgette, ribboned
• 1/4 cup (40 grams) feta cheese crumbled (use vegan substitute if you choose)
• 1/4 cup chorizo pieces (or a small handful)
• 4-6 cherry tomatoes, sliced (Don't use cherry tomatoes if you want this to be low fodmap. Other tomatoes are fine.)
• small handful of basil leaves
• top with your favorite dried herbs

These are the ingredients that I used for my pizza, but feel free to change the amounts adding more of what you like/decreasing what you dislike. It's your pizza - have fun with it!

Method

1. Prepare the socca according to the original recipe. 
2. Set your oven to 425F/220C
3. Spread your sauce sauce along the base and then top with whatever toppings your choose to use.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes until your cheese begins to brown. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with dried herbs and allow to cool for 2-3minutes before digging in.
